Ok I'll describe the sequence of problems I've have. I was driving my car up my parking garage at slow speed and the car suddenly stalled. I originally thought I goofed up and stalled the car myself, but the SLIP, VDC, and Service engine soon light came on. I was able to start the car right back up after the stall.

Started my car up the following morning CEL light still ON, VDC OFF and SLIP light are OFF. Car runs fine. Start driving to work on the interstate at around 3000 RPM cruising, then suddenly the engine gets choked of power briefly (just like what the VDC system does during a slip). The RPMs go from 3000 to 2500 all on there own for about 2 seconds and I can't accelerate, then the car starts running normally again. The SLIP and VDC OFF light come on and stay on for the rest of the trip. Its like the VDC system choked the engine of power briefly, faulted out, then let the engine run normally again. To be clear it's a VERY INSTANT choke of power that is brief, then starts running fine again.

Today all three lights are on and stay on (are on when I start the car) AND I'm having difficulty starting the car. It takes about three cranks to start it, this is a new development as of today. Before only the CEL light was on.

I'll try to grab a code at autozone tomorrow but I'm in the middle of moving into a house so the timing is terrible. Would disconnecting my neg battery terminal help? Maybe the system needs to be reset?

Any help thanks guys!

 

did you recently do any audio work on the car? and/or did you unplug your HVAC controller?

 

Could be crank shaft or camshaft sensor(s). You should be able to get a code.
